Digital PhotographyHow to get a great shot
Choosing a formatMost cameras are designed to be
held horizontally for comfort, so most pictures are taken this way
But, when you turn the camera vertical, you will be surprised at the results
Sometimes the best way to compose a photograph is to use the tall and narrow format
Which works better?Horizontal
format Vertical format
A good composition is keyA composition is an arrangement
of things and an artist arranges things to pull the viewer to what is important in the work of art
If you have too many objects in your picture the viewer may be distracted and may not find what’s important
Try to use less, sometimes simplicity is best!
Where do you stand?Your position is a valuable tool
when capturing a great photograph
Try kneeling down to take a picture (worms eye view)
Take the picture from a higher vantage point (birds eye view)
Using the zoom lenses is also a great way to find the perfect shot, be experimental!

Rule of ThirdsRule of thirds is used often with
photographers as well as artistsImaginary lines are drawn
dividing the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically.
You place important elements of your composition where these lines intersect
Rule of thirds helps produce nicely balanced pictures
